THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. FRIDAY, JULY

Tory Good-bye to Baldwin

"MY WIFE KEPT

ME IN POLITICS," SAYS EX-PREMIER

London, June 25.

"My wife persuaded me to stay in politics," Lord Baldwin confessed to the Central Council meeting in London yesterday of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations.

The meeting had just presented him with a bound volume of 557 resolutions of appreciation..

As Lord Baldwin rose to reply cheering broke out from all sides and everyone burst into "For he's a jolly good fellow."

"An Prime Minister," said Lord Baldwin, "I have been shouted down, and I was indifferent to it.

"I have sat down in the House of Commons in a dead silence, and I was Indifferent to it.

"When I have sat down on those rare occasions, and cheers have come from the heart, as they have to-day, then I do care and 1 am overwhelm- ed,"

"WHAT A DAY"

Going through some letters, he had found one written in August, 1923, by Mr. Chamberlain in reply to one he sent to bin offering him the post of Chancellor of the Exchequer,

One paragraph read: "What a morning day. Two almon this

"Never has the rank and Ale de- serted me.

And Lady Baldwin, sitting near him on the platform, silled at him.
